CAMPAIGNERS opposing Chelsea's bid to buy back the freehold of Stamford Bridge have issued a series of new proposals to try to shift a stand-off between parties.

The Say No CPO group wants shareholders, most of them supporters of the club, to vote against a bid by Chelsea to buy back their shares on October 27. The group says Chelsea has not made public enough information about potential plans to move away from the Bridge.

Now Say No CPO, which is formed from a variety of supporter organisations, says it wants Chelsea to undertake to only consider new development sites within a three-mile radius of the existing ground for the next 20 years.

The proposals put to the club by Say No CPO are as follows:

1 The club to have total freedom to move to a larger new stadium anywhere within three miles of Stamford Bridge at any time before 2030 so long as Roman Abramovich is still in control of Chelsea.

2. Chelsea to save £1.5m by leaving Chelsea Pitch Owners in place. The CPO will sell the freehold at SB to the club in exchange for the freehold at the new ground on the same terms as currently in place.

3. The club to agree to ongoing consultation, and transparency of information, with the fans regarding any new stadium .

The existing deal put on the table by the club would tie them to a three-mile radius until 2020 – ten years less than what the campaigners are asking for.

Say No CPO spokesman Tim Rolls said: “This is about being proactive, and puts the ball in the club's court.

“It is clear in talks with fans that the three-mile issue is key to a lot of people, as is what would happen to the club should Roman Abramovich no longer be the owner.

“We are also concerned that fans should have a say in things like location of any new ground, facilities, design and ticket pricing.”
